2 Peter 3:3) For YOU know this first, that in the last days there will come ridiculers with their ridicule, proceeding according to their own desires 4) and saying: “Where is this promised presence of his? Why, from the day our forefathers fell asleep [in death], all things are continuing exactly as from creation’s beginning.” 5) For, according to their wish, this fact escapes their notice [...]

8) However, let this one fact not be escaping YOUR notice, beloved ones, that one day is with Jehovah as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day. 9) Jehovah is not slow respecting his promise, as some people consider slowness, but he is patient with YOU because he does not desire any to be destroyed but desires all to attain to repentance.

Like 12Bass says, critical thinking and the scientific method are probably the best tools we have to avoid it. (bias)

However, this method relies on repeatable, falsifiable hypotheses and theories. Only an extremely small spectrum of time and space can be rendered into these, or at least a good approximation of such.

This is why California is so messed up. You can buy liquor at all hours of the day or night. If you want your state to be messed up like California, then try to get legislation passed to legalize buying booze at all hours. Freedoms always carry a price.

I live in a dry county. meaning no purchase of alcoholic beverages on sundays. Bars close, and stores won't sell it.

In Gainesville, fl, for example, you can't purchase alcohol after 2:00 am, but in Ft. Lauderdale, it's 3 am.
